Less than 24 hours after Obama won he started his show saying something like "Conservatism broadcasting from exile"

He was clearly setting the tone of "We are victims of Obama so we have to attack him"
I know. As if the Democrats exiled them???? First they shot themselves in the foot with the neocons, then the voters said "nuh-uh. No more White House for You!" It's freakin' delusional. I don't know how those people can sleep at night with the lies they spread about the president. It's truly amazing.

Both sides have their extreme pundits. They have the right to voice their opinions and I have the right to turn off the channel.

Many more successful entrepreneurs have given many millions of dollars for different charities, sports stadiums, cultural centers as well as other things. Taxes are taken for amny of the same purposes except they are taken forcefully

No, making money -- surviving, self-interest -- is competitive. "Conservatives" have always done everything they can to keep out the competition financially which naturally leads to social exclusion. It's defined them throughout history, they're proud of it. Social Darwinism, even Ayn Rand types.

Why do they attack this new and challenged President so severely, but for 8 years they never came close to questioning the man that made all of this a reality for us to begin with? Ok, maybe he was questioned, but strung up by the damn balls and watched under a microscope? Nah. No matter what good our President does, the opposite party finds something wrong with it and whines about it to all the world like little obnoxious kids.

Seriously? Dont you realize what you are bitching about is a direct result of the absolute HELL your own party put us through to begin with?!

What gives? Why are you guys so pissed at the guy who has the unreal task at repairing it all, instead of the person that made it all go to hell to begin with? Why don't you put yourself in our Presidents shoes, instead of ***** about how wrong he is?

This is why politics SUCKS, because you allow a man to wage war and change your constitutional rights no prob, but when it comes to actually trying new ideas to band aid all the problems that resulted, all hell breaks lose. That makes so much sense. Maybe try becoming apart of the solution, instead of the problem?
Uh yeah, just wondering, did you happen to catch msnbc or any of the other Liberal media the last 8 years? Grow up.
